As they attempt to go to commercial, Kushida counters into the arm breaker and gets a tap.
Score: Kushida 1, Escobar 1.

Escobar goes for a top-rope Hurricanrana but Kushida counters into a sunset flip for a near fall. He hits some offense but Escobar hits the Phantom Driver for the first fall.
Score: Escobar 1, Kushida 0.

Escobar has totally controlled almost every second since back from commercial. He's looking more and more like a future WWE star - IF BOOKED RIGHT.

Now THIS is how you even the odds.

OOOOOO . . . Reed vs. Gargano will be in a steel cage next week!

Kyle and Bobby show mutual respect, claiming they each have their own scores to settle.

Dunne immediately attacks O'Reilly after the win . . . until Bob Fish returns to make the save.

Kyle hits a brainbuster and then goes to the top. He lands a flying knee to the back of Lorcan's head for the win.
Result: Kyle O'Reilly defeats Oney Lorcan by pin.

Kyle locks in a heel hook but Lorcan gets a rope break. Back to chops and chest kicks.

The chops wake O'Reilly up and the men trade strikes. Lorcan puts Kyle in the corner but he hits Lorcan's knee to get control. He then hits a bunch of strikes in the clinch.

After a brief commercial break, Lorcan has control, hitting a few chops.

We next go to an auction featuring Moon Boy Cam Grimes who was outbid by, you guessed it, the Million Dollar Man!

They talk a bunch and pose and say they're tough.

They all grab mics and Swerve has a chair in the middle of the ring.

We come back from the break and Gargano and Theory are coming out of Bronson Reed's dressing room after apparently attacking him.
